My name is Gabby, and on Monday, March 2, my sweet uncle was called home to be with the Lord.

To know my Uncle Ricky was truly an honor. He had the biggest heart and would give to anyone in need. He never told his nieces and nephews “no.” No matter the circumstances, he always found a way to show up for his family. He deeply loved his grandchildren, and his devotion to his wife was unwavering and true. Even while enduring unbearable pain, he remained a helping hand to others. That was simply who he was — someone who loved everyone.

Although he had a small life insurance policy, we have been informed that it has not matured enough to be used. Any support received will go directly toward his burial and funeral expenses. We are shooting for the service to be Saturday March 7th

This is an incredibly difficult time for our family. If you are unable to give, we completely understand — your prayers alone mean so much to us, and we are deeply grateful for every act of kindness and support.

Psalm 147:3 — “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
